(With meter on sensor and ground connect battery between ground and sensor input and you should see the mixtre go lean and the O2 sensor voltage drop accordingly. If not something else is wrong)
from the voltage test, engine at running temp, 02 heater and sensor disconnected sensor 0.91v ecu 1.6v (aa cell connected)
1.6v cell removed sensor 0.91 ecu 0.43 v
sensor 0.86-0.91 v with ecu grounded
I changed the plugs got fire on all of them
I checked all the injectors, no dribbling under pressure and normal spray pattern
At idle I am getting a miss fire occasionally and Ive got at least one lifter that hasn't pumped up.
Im going to check those out again next. I think their is something else going on as you said.
Thanks for all the Knowledge.
Bob
